is it possible for a hacker to run malicious scripts on a linux server even without knowing the root or user password of a linux system?
any file which is copied from a remote system doesnt have execute (x) privileges! in such a scenario how do scripts get run on the remote machine?

assume i v configured iptables n left SE Linux in permissive state.
